These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Sunday Stealing
Sunday Stealing
Would you ever consider becoming a teacher? Yes. When I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher.
Would you ever give a hitch-hiker a ride somewhere? No.
Would you ever try fasting for a whole week? No.
Would you ever try to quit one of your addictions? "One of" my addictions? What a cheery question! I probably am addicted to caffeine, and I should give it up. Sorry that's all I have to report.
Would you ever dye your hair purple? I did. It was the 80s.
Would you ever spend $100 for the best tasting hamburger in the world? Sure. Though I insist that the bill include the side of my choice, tax and tip. $100 for a beef dish dinner in a really nice restaurant is certainly not unheard of.
Would you rather chew gum off the ground or kill a squirrel? First of all, what's the penalty for doing neither? I suppose I'll go with the gum. Children do it every day and they somehow manage to grow up into adults.
Would you rather play Monopoly or Operation? Monopoly
Would you rather eat chocolate or fruity candies? Chocolate
Would you rather listen to one CD forever or become deaf? The CD ... and it's going to The Beatles White Album. If it's Barry Manilow, I'd rather be deaf.
Would you rather be deaf or blind? Deaf
Would you rather text or talk on the phone? Talk on the phone
Would you rather spend a day with Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus? Gaga
Would you rather learn to play piano or guitar? Guitar
Would you rather have a stomach-ache or headache? Headache
Would you rather be overly interesting or overly dull? Overly interesting
Would you rather be too loud or too quiet? Too quiet
The White Album is an interesting choice. At the time I thought "Rubber Soul" was the best because it was the first where they clearly changing the way rock music was written & recorded. That said, I now think "Sgt Pepper" was their best. Their last recorded album was actually "Abbey Road". That's a damn good album as well...
ReplyDeleteYour Barry Manilow answer, and the picture you chose, made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone pick up hitchhikers anymore....?
Loved your answers and especially the one with the picture of Barry Manilow. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI take it you're not a Barry Manilow fan? Lol!
ReplyDeleteI said I would choose the CD, I was afraid of being stuck with something Manillow-ish. Eeek!
